Well it seems something usefull has finally come out of the PSO v2 hack. For those of you just tuning in, this was a hack devised a few months ago which would allow you to hook your gamecube to your PC and stream very limited amounts of data (about 4MB to the GC's RAM) via the broadband adapter and an exploit for PSOv2. Over time, an improved version that could load 14MB of data came out and homebrewers starting making rudimentary games/tech demos.

Fast foward to today. Eurasia has released a loader which takes further advantage of the PSO hack to the extent that Animal Crossing can now be played flawlessly. Other games support the same loader but with minor errors (FMV skips, loading times ranging from non-existent in some games, to 2+ minutes long in others).

Within a few months you'll be seeing modchips that will allow you to play the games hassle free,------------------------------

A new beta of the loader was released, it now STREAMS other games from pc to bba aswell, currently 100% supported is luigi and animal crossing, luigi gives you longer loading times, but runs fine.

Other Games are partly supported but have errors! --------------------------

So much for not being able to warez GC Games,

The fallowing GC games have been released by warez groups:

Animal_Crossing_Loader_1.1_NGC_INTERNAL_BETA-EURASIA

Phantasy_Star_Online_1_And_2_PAL_GC-RARE

Disneys_Magical_Mirror_Starring_Mickey_Mouse_PAL_GC-RARE

I will be updating this thread with links to software and all other files allowed here at UGN, new software is being developed daily.

Alright, could somebody tell me what's so great about this? You can hook it up to your PC and play the games...is that it? I don't really see the point. It's not like the playstation mod chips where you can play pirated games and stuff. Is it just like if you have a kick [censored] PC, then you can play it with the better graphics and everything?

This is amazing Chem!!!!!!!!/me hugs ChemHey can you tell me where you get all your info i really want to keep upto date with all of this and maybee someday i will burn my fav game TS2 (Time splitters 2), PM me or post it thanks!

Judging from pergus's post I have to clerify what this is.An exploit in PSO 2 for the gamecube allows you to send data into the gamecubes ram, theres no emulation anywhere.People can now download warez copies of GC games from the net, then connecting the GC to the computer allows the Gamecube to play a game off the pc's harddrive instead of the optical drive in the gamecube.

So in turn allows you to play GC games on your gamecube the exact same as if the actual game was in the GC. And since data is read off of the pc's harddrive instead of the GC's optical drive the load times will be much shorter once the bugs are worked out of the programs.

Oh, and you can still save your games to the GC's memory card etc. once the game is started theres no difference in any way than if the actual game was in the gamecube, except faster load times.

Sounds interesting. I am just curious as to where and when the information comes into the Gamecube. Seems odd to just be able to stream information into the port and load up a game.

I didn't have any more luck finding info about PSO v2. Just got results for Phantasy Star Online

Ok. I didn't see the loader, so you need a special loader I assume for games in general or the game. it doesn't make sense that you could send the data and the GC would load whatever was streamed through the port.

You guys are missing the entire point behind this discovery. Not only can you stream the games from your PC to the GC, but GC homebrew has finally begun! This means that all us Homebrew guys that have been dinking around with the GBA can finally get some code loaded into the GC for testing instead of this emulation stuff.

StarCube is back with 3 new gamecube-releases: - Nintendo_Puzzle_Collection_JAP_NGC-STARCUBE - Star_Wars_Rogue_Squadron_2_Rogue_Leader_USA_NGC-STARCUBE - Rayman_3_Hoodlum_Havok_USA_NGC-STARCUBE

Also there are some new releases from RARE: - Metroid_Prime_USA_GC-RARE - Super_Smash_Brothers_Melee_USA_GC-RARE - Super_Monkey_Ball_USA_GC-RARE - Super_Monkey_Ball_2_USA_GC-RARE - Wave_Race_Blue_Storm_USA_GC-RARE

At the time, the games are being shared via irc, though you can expect warez bittorent sites to catch up within the faoowing weeks.

I'm not sure if the loader program that allows you to play the GC backups on your GameCube is warez or not, I dont know if it contains any copyrighted code or not. will post when confirmation is recieved that its kosher.

Ok, here comes the info on how this works.With a copy of Phantasy Star Online & the Broadband adapter, it is possible to play backups of games in conjunction with your PC.

Since Phantasy Star online is an online game, its set to listen to the Broadband adapter for instructions etc from the PSO servers.

By connecting the adapter to your computer and using a program called "The Euroasia Loader" your computer will interpret commands from the Gamecube and using an exploit in the PSO game can send data directly into the ram. The Euroasia loader then plops a little program in the ram that tells the gamecube not to read data off the optical drive, but to read it off the broadband adapter instead. So the GameCube requests all its data off the broadband adapter, and thus off the computer. The computer running the euroasia loader can interpret these commands and sends the requested data via a copy of a game ISO on the hard drive.Its just that simple.

This is really awesome news, actually. I can't wait for some homebrew games to start coming out, even though I don't have GC and don't plan on getting one :x I expect more [censored] like this to happen as computer and consoles start becoming more integrated. Very cool! Despite the fact that I hate warez *mostly* , I got much love for the people who did this. Great work! W0rd

again stick with the homebrew and such. Just paranoid b/c remember when MS got pissed and shut down a lot of sites that sold modchips and various sites linking to or posting info about hacking the xbox to play ROMs. Just stay away from rom talk, and no need to post scene releases or NFOs anymore. Realize that one contained technical info so I didn't say anything about it. Just a word of warning.

Chem: I am geting a GCN. Now I know I need the broadband adapter and the actual PSO 1&2 game in order to do this. About the loaders, seems I joined the scene in a time of drama. Could you explain what is everyone's deal right now and perhaps give some info links. I got these so far:

kk. figured out warp pipe. Did not realize that nintendo had no online service. However, warppipe lets you play against individuals over the internet it seems. For games like Mario Kart. I am sure this project will be very promising and will add several more games support. I am going to be sure to donate to this if they release a stable version atleast.

Hello everyone, This is my first post I was browsing the net and I came across a post on a forum which claimed that you can backup GC games if you had nero 6, and a miniDVD-R (and a DVD burner ofcourse). This guy said that if you burn a GC image on a miniDVD, you won't need any mod chip and you can directly play the burnt miniDVD on the GC console with no mods at all. I downloaded a GC image off the net, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a .gcm format. Is there anyway for me to burn this image and play it on my console without using any mods or a PC network?

Maybe because thats true, as you may or may not notice the last post was from Jan 15. btw there really isn't that much protection(encryption), as nintendo thought they would be safe, using such a different form-factor, its a standard industrial dvd, but half the size. Blank dvds(that you can buy in the store) are only like 5 gig where the industry ones are like 9. (sizes are approximate) so it would be very hard to get the game to fit, as images wouldn't fit on a standard half size dvd.
